Using grapes shipped from CA and mixing with apples crown on site, this small batch operation is a delightful stop. Specifically, I want to shout out our wine guide who took us through several of their wines. She made our experience there memorable with her amazing personality, charm, and humor. The space is small but offers a variety of options to hang out and enjoy their wines and ciders - inside by the fireplace, outside on the screen porch, or outdoors on the patio. We loved our time at Hilltop and hope to return.

The best apple cider doughnuts in town!…read more Crazy assortment of apple types for purchase during the season. Doughnuts are in high demand and are only available Thursday-Sunday starting at 9:30. Get there as early as you can and anticipate a warm melt in your mouth goodness. Not overly sweet or cinnamony (a downside to some other town makers). They also have jars of homemade pickles, kickles (pickles with a kick), and more. Looking forward to next apple season!

disappointed this year Apple Cider is $8.99 a gallon and isn't as thick Apple looking as past years…read moreit looks watered down and tastes closer to apple juice, also they added a preservative. In my opinion it's not worth $8.99 ( actually $9.00 because they didn't give me the penney ). Matter of principle. Your better off just buying a gallon from the grocery store for Jaesckes isn't the same, it was awful compared to usual.

**November 2025: Tuesday Early Afternoon Visit**…read more For my Vermont portion of the roadtrip I really wanted to visit a maple syrup farm. I called the day before to confirm hours and inquire on potential tours and they indeed were in operation despite the cold season. We arrived around 1pm and entered the small gift shop which had their maple syrup on display in various sizes. They also sold some Vermont made Jam, homemade magnets and some other souvenirs. The shopkeeper greeted us and agreed to give us a tour and educated us about the maple syrup process. She took us out back and told us and showed us the blue pipes that transport the syrup to their backhouse which then heats it up so all the liquid dissipates. At the end of the tour we got to sample both the Medium Amber and Dark Robust syrups. My friend and I definitely preferred the Medium Amber. I bought small maple leaf shaped jars as well as the maple candy to bring in my checked bag and my friend asked if they could ship his gallon to California. This maple syrup has a more molasses taste to it and I think I'm ruined on store bought generic maple syrup lol. Overall, a fun visit!

Katrina and Gary go out and beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable at their farm. They give great tours and provide an enormous amount of interesting information. The treks are a lot of fun and you really get to see the llama's personality's shine during the one on one time. The babies are adorable and will warm your heart. I highly recommend the seasonal llama yoga. A baby llama might just come up and smell your feet while you are in a pose. Wish I could give Dakota Ridge Farms 10 Stars.
